Single versus Multiple Annotation for Named Entity Recognition of Mutations

The focus of this paper is to address the knowledge acquisition bottleneck for Named Entity Recognition (NER) of mutations, by analysing different approaches to build manually-annotated data. We address first the impact of using a single annotator vs two annotators, in order to measure whether multiple annotators are required. Once we evaluate the performance loss when using a single annotator, we apply different methods to sample the training data for second annotation, aiming at improving the quality of the dataset without requiring a full pass. We use held-out double-annotated data to build two scenarios with different types of rankings: similarity-based and confidence based. We evaluate both approaches on: (i) their ability to identify training instances that are erroneous (cases where single-annotator labels differ from double-annotation after discussion), and (ii) on Mutation NER performance for state-of-the-art classifiers after integrating the fixes at different thresholds.
